FRENCH PAPERS. (Prom Mg ,Voile, Muted Asurdaz, Jae. It) CO IO IIITANTIMOVGL, Diet. 25.—Uvery body here is persuaded that the surprising resolution of the Divan to send Hussein Bey and Nedjib Effendi to the Morea to negociate with the Greeks, was in vonsequence of the death of the Emperor Alexander, of which the Porte was soon inform. . The accounts favourable to the Greeks, lately received from the Morea, which by no weans answered the hopes that had been built on the great expedition from Egypt, would pro. bably not have suffirpa to induce this measure, which it had !lithe! to been thought impossible .that the Porte should adopt. Missoloughi, on /which all eyes are fixed, still holds out, and it is said that a now attempt of the Turks to make themselves masters of the bulwark of tboir ene. Inks, has been defeated, with great loss. It seems that an Egyptian corps has sustained a defeat at Gabtouni. Ibrahim Pacha, on his way to Patras, remark. 'Till that a great number of Greeks had fortified themselves in an island of the lake which is near the sea between Arcadia and Argos, as well as in a village In the plain of Gustouni. Having placed himself at the head of a numeous corps, he advanced against the Greeks, who did not long stand their ground, and were put to the sword. After this affair Ibrahim ordered 222 pair of ears to be cut off, which he sent to the Sublime Porte as a trophy of victory which he had just gn;tied. Three Tartars arrived at the Perte on the 14th, with 3,000 ears and heads. They travelled very quickly from Patras, where Ibrahim had a great many troops encamped under the walls of the town. ltedschid Pasha was with him the Tartars were dispatched. It was said some days ago that the Sultan was 'having a little catechism printed of his own corn. -position for the Cadis end tribunals of the Empire, the object of which is to put them in mind that when the Karatch is once paid, the Reyes (Christians) ought to enjoy the same civil rights as the Mussulinen, but this statement is not cor rect. The pretended Cathechitma is a thick volume, containing a Turkish translation of all the precepts of certain Arabic hooks, and of some sacred books. Only there is inserted in this com 'pilation, in which the Sultan has really taken a part, a series of questions in favour of the Christians. Letters from Bagdad of the 31st October say— Since the insurrection at Stills was put down,. 'troubles have broken out in another part of the Pachalk. Troops ►verb immediately sent to the ,spot. Mnn►tto, JAN. 20.--In the night of the 13th of this month, one of the servants of the Infant Don Carlos found a woman elegantly dressed, .concealed behind a curtain in the Prince's bed chatuber. On being questioned, she replied that her name was Mislo—that she was of. Portuguese origin ; that Queen Isabella of liraganza had brought her to Spain, and that she had since been banished to Seville.— Vile sudden appearance of this lady, who was► believed to be in exile, and her introduction into the apartments of Don Carlos, naturally ex cited the most serious suspicions. Madame Mist° accordingly had a guard set over her, and in the -morning was taken to prison. There was found upon her a pas , po r t of the police of Seville, de. .livered also in the name of her husband, whose ,place of abode she has obstinately refused to resent. The Royal Alatanack for 1 nr, mentions the Infant Don Carlos by the title of Generalissimo of the forces by•sea and land, and the Infant'Doit Francisco de Paul o , by th at of Captain-General of the Armies, which answers to the rank of Marshal in France. the Pilate of Friday.) PARIg, J.N. 26.—We this moment received a 'letter from Madrid of the 16th, in which we find some Pxplatiation of the reports which had been spread of a rupture between Spain and England. It seems that this report was not wholly destitute of foundation. Tim latter Cabinet had, in. part, claimed the execution of the decree of time Cortes of 1823, relative to the indemnity due from Spain to the English merchants whose property had been seized, by pirates from the „ Tiavantialt. The Spanish Government persistie g in not giving an answer, and the opening of Per. patent being at hand, Mr. Canning sent instruc tions to Mr. Lamb to require a decision in 2 , 1 hours ; and in case of a refusal, he ordered him to declare that England would take possession of ,the Ilavannab and of Porto nice. The Spanish Ministers at length answered that every thing -should be settled to Mr. Canning's satisfaction. PittNelt FUNIK—PAIUS, JAN. 27.—Five per Cents. 054,— , Three per Cents., 07f.

(Received Last Night.] Prmtenuttott, JAN. I.—At the very moment of the accession of his Majesty the Emperor Nicholas to the throne, we had occasion, though from an afflicting event, to admire the firmness and goodness of heart of our Monarch. It is generally known how the Emperor behaved on the 26th as a Sovereign ; but nothing better represents the man and the friend, than the following autograph letter which his Majesty wrore to Count lUiloradowitach, immediately after he was wounded " My friend, my dear Michael Andrewitsch—May God re ward you for what you have done for me ; have confidence in God, as I myself have ; he will not take my friend from me. If I could follow the impulse of my heart, I should already be with you, but business keeps me here. This day is very painful to me, but I have a consolation which is above every thing, for I see in you and all the people, my friends, my children. May the infinite goodness of God give me strength to rep a y th em ; I will consecrate my whole life to accomplish it. " Your sincere friend, " NICROIJAS." FRANKFORT, JAN'. 22.—The letters from Leipsic say that the fair is worse than usual, there are but few buyers or sellers. Ordinary cloths and linens had an indiNrent sale: silks alone were in demand. The King of Bavaria, in an audience which he gave to the Deputies of the town of A nspach, said to them : " In order to make business, I have been obliged to make retrenchments; many branches at' expenditure have been di minished by half. Doubtless these measures have displeased many persons, but I could not do otherwise. People make an outcry, yet I have done only what is just. Many other changes would be necessary, but humanity restrains me. As for the person in office who are affected by these measures, they shall have sufficient t o li ve u p on . E ven in the last assem bly of the States many reductions should have been made ; but it was proper to respect the will of my father. In the next session our budget will be very different from what it was, and if things had remained on the former footing, we should have ' become bankrupts." The last letters from Vienna do not agree with respect to the ailltirs of Hungary. The Diet seems not to have agreed with respect to several - of the Royal propositions. The - Archduke Palatine has paid another visit to Vienna to confer with the Emperor, his brother, on the subjects under discussion at Pres burg. The conciliatory character of his Imperial Highness gives reason to suppose that things will be arranged amicably to the satisfaction of the Government and of the Diet, and of the general good of Hungary. News has been received at Semlin, that the Ottoman troops assembled in the plain of Adrianople, which were to march to Western Greece to reinforce the army of Redschid Pacha, have tumultuously refused to march, declaring to the officers that they would not make a campaign in wnitcr. A Tartar has been dispatched to Constantinople to acquaint the Grand Visit with this event. TI11;4 4 ARMY. ('ttoM lIATUUDAT'S GAZETTIC.) War Office Jan. '27, 1826.

THE SILK.TRADS. On Saturday at two o'clock a private meeting took place at the Mansion House, to consider the propriety of I raising a subscription to alleviate the distresses of the labouring silk.manufacturers in Spits Welds. There were about twenty five persons present, all of whom, with the exception of the Bishop of Chester, and Aldermen Wood, Thompson, Garrett, and Lucas, wefe( we believe, connected with the sillorade. The LORD MAYOR, on taking the chair, observed, that they were assembled for the purpose of endeavouring to afford relief to the sufferings of the silk weavers of Spitalfields. It had been proposed to him to call a public meeting in the Egyptian Hall, but considering that the object in view was of a purely charitable nature, a private meeting was the best calculated to effect it. lie had taken the liberty to send a notice of the meeting to Mr. Rothschild, who had just been with him, and to four or five other gentlemen connected with the city, who lie believed would attend. The great object was to raise a sub. scription for the weavers, who, from his own personal observe. etnheirertelpnogrutdiswoheisceh in ebneeexntsreutbnieni,ttetegdreeto. bore their sufferings with a aubmissiveness and kindness ht l i t rill Wa h s ase b w u k t enl j el u w s a t ts i o ce fmb t eul o the unfortunate weavers, to say, that they of feeling winch did them the highest credit, and en. titled them to the charitable aid of all who were capa ble of affording it. There was no doubt, he thought,, that a subscription, if once set on foot, would be support ed generally throughout the kingdom. Government had informed him of their intention to give 1,0001., and Mr. Roths child had put down his name as a subscriber for 1001. and many individuals would, in all probability, follow so excel lent an example. lie ventured to suggest that it would be better on the present occasion to abstain from any discussion as to the causes of the existing distress. If it were proposed to call a public meeting to take into consideration the general state of the silk trade, with reference to the measures which have been, or were about to be, adopted by the Legislature with respect to it, that was quite another question. The pre sent meeting, however, was solely for the purpose of instituting a charitable subscription, and to that object he trusted that gentlemen would confine themselves. Mr. Gipson said that the weavers were much indebted to his Lordship for his humane desire to afford temporary relief to their.sufferings t and -they were not less obliged to the Right Reverend Prelate who had done the meeting the honour to attend to forward so benevolent un object. He would endea vour, in what he should address to the meeting, to keep within the line which had been prescribed by the Lord Mayor, at the same time he thought it desirable to endeavour to point out the means of removing the existing distress ? (independently of temporary aid of a charitable nature), if it could be done without bringing under discussion the general question, of the expediency of the measur e s w hi s k P ar li ament h a d adopted with regard to the silk trade. To suppose that the aid of humane people would be able to maintain the weavers in any thing like the situation in which they would be placed by their own labour, if they had an opportunity of exercis ing it, was an idea which could only be entertained by per sons who were unacquainted with the number of labourers who were at present unable to procure employment. It ap peered front a report which bad been made at the request of Government, founded on an accurate investigation, that there were now no less than 10,000 weavers unemployed, and that that number was increasing every week. It was too much to expect that the aid of public benevolence alone would enable them to subsist without employment. The existing distress arose out of an apprehension on the part of the masters, who had hitherto employed the weavers, that they would not be able to obtain an adequate return for their capital, if they should continue diet: labourers in employment. Whether that apprehension was well or ill founded it was for the meet ing to inquire. The silk trade, it was true, suffered in com mon with other branches of the commercial interests, from causes which affected all alike, but it suffered in this way in a very trifling degree ; the great caose of the distress was the alarm which was felt at the approaching change •of the state of the trade with respect to foreign competition. The alarm which was felt by the manufacturers was not that kind of ignorant panic, which it was impossible to remove, because no one could discover on what foundation it rested. It was founded on a knowledge of the fact that it was-impossible for the manufac- L u a r d er be to en co e n e t e i n n e u t e om to ed en t i o pi p o e y y ti t i b e e w in e:iV w er it s b at tb t e he s r l a ig te bt a ee t t w i l t i r i e c e h pe l e ie t of advantage to himself. It had been said, that the master ma nufacturers had endeavoured to increase the present einbarasa. ing situation of the silk trade, by withdrawing employment from the weavers. The Loan Al avow stated (as we understood) that there had been some misunderstanding on that point, in a certain quarter. Mr. Gipson said, he had heard it asserted in several quar ters, that the manufacturers had endeavoured to augment the existing distresses, in order to prevent the Government from carrying into effect the changes which they had proposed with respect to the silk trade. He had before stated, that the non employment of the labourers by the manufacturers was the result of an apprehension of loss in the minds of the latter, and he would tell the meeting upon what that apprehension was founded. At present it was found necessary to protect one-quarter of the labour employed in the silk-manufacture, that of the throwster, by a duty of 6s. per pound on the im portation of the spun silk. It required a pound and a halt' of that silk to make a pound of wrought silk, so that the duty on the latter amounted to 71. 6d. per pound, which was more than it was proposed to levy upon the Importation of manufactured silks. It was therefore not unfounded, the alarm with which the manufacturers looked forward to the period when the pro. posed alterations in their trade would take effect. The Spite'. fields manufacturers were actuated, not by an unfounded panic, but by well-grounded apprehension. if 7s. 6d. per pound on the article was required to protect one-fourth of the labour employed in the manufacture, four times that sum was necessary to protect the whole. lie quilted that he had not travelled further into the question th en , un d er the circum. stances of the case, it was allowable for him to do; and he was willing to leave it precisely as it stood upon the statement which he had made. There was one circumstance of allevia tion to which lie felt pleasure in adverting. It was, that time silk-trade was not suffering under a stagnation occasioned by an accumulation of stock, which an alteration in the circum stances of the country could alone remedy; fer he knew, that if the alarm of the manufacturers could be removed, they would, in a very short time, be able to set to work every indi. vidual who had been thrown out of employment...-( Hear I) Mr. DOXAT bore testimony to the kind conduct of the manufacturers towards their laboureA, who all spoke in the highest terms of their employers. ill r. HALE rose to move the first resolution. It would not, per haps,be considered impertinent, that he should make some obser. %Fattens on the locality of Spitalfields. It was well known that the parish of Spitalfields was inhabited by a multitude of poor who resorted there on account of the cheapness of the rents ; so that there was always much distress m the parish even when the silk-manufactures were prosperous. Owing to the vast number of small houses, it was impossible to raise a paro. 661 rate sufficiently large to afford any thing like adequate relief to those who applied for it in a season of. unusual dis. tress. It was not the weavers alone who suffered from the want of employment, but likewise the mall shopkeepers, who depended for their support upon the customs of the former. The Spitallields weavers had, besides their distresses, another claim upon the sympathy of the public, on account of the loyal and peaceable disposition which they had always manifested.— ee pe L a d c d ea peaceable. to T e h o e ob w ieeh u ci g irebwc circumstances, inniotit li, e y;,tsai nt weaversen want tw)ovfiteelerirneoaeglr employment istonelyilgianioulnoweeninsansitsi 18s. per oal they pilfnueeer Whilst riot and outrage were being committed by other o ve. hey labourers in different parts of the country,. they had continued upon ivt them Underweaver's i a t g k e e s t l e i e throughwts by them, for a man could not support himself, a wife, and children, on 15s. per week, and save money besides. At the present moment hundreds were absolutely dying for want. lie concluded with moving the resolution. The Bishop of CnEarEtt observed, that lie might be mei tiered out of piece in coming forward on the present occasion, had not hi s o ffi ce of rector of a parish in Spitalfields led him to the knowledge of the circumstances which had given rise to the meeting. On former occasions he had found it necessary to afford such relief as he could command to the distressed weavers of his neighbourhood. They then wanted money to enable them to set t h e i r l ooms at work. He was induc e d to conic forward on the present occasion to aid in promoting a sub scription, because the weavers now not only had not the means of setting their looms at work, but were obliged to sell them, thus depriving themselves of the means of procuring future subsistence for themselves and their families. lie cense forward on fl t a h l e i a o;e v tl ic it e w oi o ' u lll d a an the pastor of a flock, many of' whom were in a state of star vation, to endeavourito obtain some alleviation for their suffer ings..

The LORD MAYon was of opinion that a subscription could not originate more properly than with those persons wheel connection with the trade gave them peculiar opportunities of knowing the extent of the distresses at present existing. lie had no doubt that the public would have sufficient confidence in the gentlemen had come forward to place what chari• table aid they could vittp It their disposal. Mr. Alderman GARRETT explained, that in what he had said he did not intend tcss oppose the charitable bbjects of the meePg. • Mr. HALE stated that the silk manufacturers who were present, formed a committee, and were the moat respectable persons in the trade. s w id d er ie th n e ile m w ee h t Mr. Alderman Tlioreesost said, he would adhere strictly purpose. If the meeting were to enter upon the consideration meeting his as Lords hipbe i n gassheamd b p l r e e d scr so i b l e ed ly , a f n o d r a w r o h u a l d r t e a / of the policy of the late measures adopted by Governracat ' with regard to the silk-trade, there could be no doubt that considerable difference of opinion would be expressed. The subject was one of great importance, upon which at that moment he was not prepared to give a deliberate opinion.-- He attended the meeting solely for the purpose of charity' and lie hoped that the resolutions to be proposed woeld be strictly confined to that object. Not having seen the resolutions, he begged it might be understood that coming forward lie did not commit himself to any thing further than to aid by his humble endeavours to alleviate the calamitous distress prevailing in Spivalfields. He could bear testimony to the peaceable and orderly conduct of the people inha. biting that district. In allusion to a' charge which had been made against the master silk.manufacturers, lie could state from his own knowledge, that there was no class of IBM. tees who behaved with more liberality and kindness towards their labourers. There must have been some misrepresenta• • don, otherwise Mr. Huskisson, a gentleman who was distin guished for his liberality and candour, could not have made such a charge. Mr. Alderman Lucas approved of the object of the meet ing, and said, that the silk manufacturers were in no way accountable for the existing distress. Mr. almost said, that after what he had -heard, he wee satisfied that it was impossible to confine the attention of the meeting to the existing distress, and to abstain altogether No alluding to its cause. After having stated the extent of the distress, it was natural to inquire how long it might be elx pectcd to continue, and whether it was likely to be diminished or aggravated. The President of the Board of Trade had charged the master manufacturers with having occasioned the present distress, by inlulging in speculation. Over produc tion, it was said, had loaded the market' with such a large quantity of manufactures, that nothing . hut the process of time could relieve the trade from the weight which p resse d upon it. The President of the Board of Tr a de was misinformed, how'. ever. There had been no speculation on the part of the master manufacturers. The imports had not been great, and yet they remained unsold ; but with respect to the Spitallields manult ture, there were no large quantity of it in the market. 4 " e wag'it which pressed on the silk trade was the fear of the el) - preaching change. To set the matter in a proper light, there' fore, he would propose a resolution setting forth that the P '' sent distress was not oc cas i one d by any f eu l t o f the manutet turers' but solely by the alarm th e y f e l t a t t he change *lug' would take place in the silk trade as regarded importations from foreign countries in July next. Th e wort h y ge ntleman the , moved a resolution to chi effect stated. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON objected to the resolutio n j u e t proposed. He attend e d th e meeting for a charitable pu r l' °* . n only —not to di s cu ss th e causes of the p resen t distress, but 1o . endeavour to relieve it. Parli ament , which was about w tt,t' ., amble, was the fittest pl ace f or i nvest i gat i ng t h e c ause of tne calamitous result which they deplored. Mr. Alderman GARRATT likewise objected to the resoluti °ll as being calculated to injure the cause for which they had tangled. The Bishop:of GREETER said, that the resolution proP u t ed had quite t a k en hi m by surpri se. He had been ihattee,, to take en activ e p ar t in originating the meeting, on the under standing that ther e should be no discussion as to the est• it • of the distress. If die resoluti on were persisted in, lie wishe d to be underst oo d that he took no part m the proceedings of t ae meeting. Mr. Alderman WOOD thought it would be absurd fur so small a meeting t o p ut f ort h a declaration as to the causes of tae existing distress. Mr. GIBSON disclaimed for himself any knowledge of t i ' understanding referred to by th e Right Rev. 13ishop • solution which he had proposed w as d rawn up by t he Genus' men who had consulted with his lordship.
